If the cockpit.dat files are configured the same as the aircraft .dat files then the file isn't encrypted but is a binary file not a text file as in previous versions of Falcon. I did actually start to decipher the aircraft .dat file. The way I went about this was to find an aircraft .dat file from ...

Pumpyhead: Just playing follow the leader :D T-Rex Here's some more paint schemes. These are just side views, I found some painted 3-views on the web once, but I can't find them again, lucky I downloaded them, I'll zip them up and put them on my web space. I'll post the link later. http://www.mousem...

Thanks for the info. Ill check out the matrix stuff. Here what I've got so far. It's by no means finished. If anyone has any spare time to do a texture I would be greatful of the help, I'm no good at that side of things. Some images http://website.lineone.net/~d_cuthbert/Image1.jpg http://website.li...

I seem to have scared everyone away from the yahoo group :), I know this board is more theatre development so I hope no one minds me asking this. Question re gear bay's and DOF's I know to put the bays at the beginning of the split branch so that they get drawn first then covered by the fuselarge, b...

I've been working on the Jaguar for some time now, I'm working on the splitting now, still a newbie where splitting is concerned so I'm still in the trial and error stage.

How about using this huge theatres to emulate out of theatre flights coming in e.g. a base right on the edge with B52's that can fly in. Would look strange on the planning map maybe, but at least you wouldn't have 1000's of airbases etc to place.

This isn't in the league as the above but Im still on the learning curve http://website.lineone.net/~d_cuthbert/screen%20shot%201.jpg[/img]]http://website.lineone.net/~d_cuthbert/screen%20shot%202.jpg http://website.lineone.net/~d_cuthbert/screen%20shot%201.jpg http://website.lineone.net/~d_cuthbert...

Well you can get 3ds max from here www.discreet.com you might need to visit your bank manager first though. There's a nice freebie modeller called G-Max made by the same people, unfortunatly this program doesn't allow you to save in a format that the lod editor can read so this info is of little use...

Can't really remember to be honest, I can remember some nurse and a helicopter but I thought they were the same thing, maybe just a different series.

I'm not too concerned ATM, I will remove unnecessary polys when I've completed the shape. Nearly finished splitting your standard model, though that one has no ...

So out of those that like paint it black how many of you spent Saturday night after getting home from the pub watching "Tour of Duty". Beleve it or not Rick Wakeman did an instrumental version of it. How about "The End" by The Doors, or "Riders on the storm" or "Ride of the valkrie" ?spelling? Regar...

This is of no help to you what so ever, but what the hell. I installed the ODS theatre and wanted to see what altitude the dead sea was at, as in RL it's below sea level, to my small dissapointment it was at normal sea level, can the code handle it? I doubt it

Good idea, those scout's and pioneers dont use a runway, they are rocket propeled from a ram or something, should I add a rocket pack to the model and would it be possible for the rocket pod to drop off once the RPV is airbourne. If no one else is doing any RPV I would be happy to do more, predator ...

Hi, I looked at the IL78 and there are slots on the wings and fuselarge where the refuel pods should be but I can't see the pods, I have no idea what these point to, haven't spent much time on the slots as I've been enjoying the splitting process ;) If I replace the IL78 model with the VC10 and add ...

I would really appreciate it if someone could help out with the texture, an artist I am not :) I got a refuelpod.lod from the yahoo LE group but the basket just spins, doesn't extend. Ill happily build the 3d model for the pods but I'm still a LE beginner I don;t know how to extend the hose, I haven...

RAF Tankers! I know I'm not regular here but I read the Entity Expansion list and noticed that the only refuellers were the KA-3B and KA-6D, what about the RAF VC-10 and Tristar, these aircraft have been heavily relied on by the US Navy in ODS and more recently Afghanistan. RAF refuellers, without t...

I was reading the list (been reading for a while now) of new aircraft being added and wanted to point out that there are no VC-10 tankers included or other Probe and Drouge tanker aircraft other than those in the US navy
